[PATCH] mm/page_io: Use pr_alert_ratelimited for swap read/write errors

[Georgi Djakov]

If there are errors during swap read or write, they can easily fill
the log buffer and remove any previous messages that might be useful
for debugging, especially on systems that rely for logging only on
the kernel ring-buffer.

For example, on a systems using zram as swap, we are more likely to
see any page allocation errors preceding the swap write errors if the
alerts are ratelimited.
